FIPEC Rope Thrower for Commercial Fishing Vessels

The FIPEC Rope Thrower is a professional rope launching device engineered for commercial snow crab vessels and large lobster boats that frequently handle heavy trap lines and reposition fishing gear at sea.

Designed and manufactured by Les Industries Fipec Inc., this rugged deck tool allows crews to launch rope precisely and efficiently to the desired location, improving safety, reducing physical strain, and accelerating trap handling operations.

Whether operating in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Atlantic Canada, or other commercial fisheries, the FIPEC rope thrower provides fishermen with a reliable mechanical solution for deploying rope quickly and accurately on deck or overboard.
